I at least give them props for acknowledging how silly the name of their hometown is, and incorporating that into their band name.

But aside from that, they sound boring as shit.

You mean there's not a real place in upstate New York called Slambovia?

Well, Tarrytown is goofy-sounding enough.

I keep thinking about listening to some of these bands just to see how bad they are, but I currently have Charles Mingus Live (at Newport Jazz Festival, I think) playing in iTunes. I'm not pausing that to put on a bunch of assbags in Handsocks.

GOD F-ING DAMNIT. Why does every fucking dickhead bandwagon-jumper have to come here? Keep right on sucking right there where you are. We're full. The next asshole I see walking around with a solidstate Vox or a scarf in 75 degree weather is getting hit with the van. For trues.

So true. My old neighbor was friends with their original guitarist, who apparently wrote all of the songs on their first album and then was kicked out for not having the right 'image'.

Not from my area, as they are from Leeds but needed to post a link to this:

Brilliant.

I saw this band on the bill for a show at the local church venue.

If you thought crappy high-school pop-punk couldn't get any worse...

There's tons of these glam/punk/" '77 " bands here and they're all pricks.

Wow.

I kept waiting to hear someone say "shit... wait, I fucked that part up.", but it never happens.
